“Pain in Business Life is Inevitable! Relief from Business Pain is always Optional! We’re Business Pain Relief Specialists.”
Family Business Support is a North Queensland consulting business that uses its local knowledge and more than 30 years of advisory experience to guide your business towards fulfilling your profit and growth goals.
Family Business Support recognises the particular issues and challenges family businesses face and specialises in providing a holistic service from inception to expansion and succession in every industry from retail and commercial to defence, primary producers, aged care and corporate.
Some of the areas we can assist with include:
- Achieving work and life balance
- The tug of war between family and business perspectives
- Achieving your goals in your family and business
- A smooth path to Succession
By addressing these issues, families in business can achieve:
- Stronger and happier families, both within the business and in the community
- A move from principally working ‘in the business’ to instead become ‘working on the business’
- Solid achievable goals around profit, growth and - in appropriate circumstances – succession.
Family Business Support’s specialist areas include:
- Strategic plans for growth and profit
- Succession plans for family prosperity
- Transition to retirement
- Family business charters
- Employee incentive plans
- Estate planning
- Marketing strategies
- New business development strategies
Family Business Support’s strategic and succession processes are approved by Enterprise Connect and Jobs Assist. This means they can be partially government-funded if certain criterions are met. Please contact us to see if you qualify.
